Agriculture
Under current law, the land to which a claim for the farmland preservation
credit relates must be subject either to a farmland preservation agreement or to an
exclusive agricultural use zoning ordinance certified by the Land and Water
Conservation Board (LWCB). A farmland preservation agreement commits the
owner to keep the land in agricultural use for the duration of the agreement,
although DATCP or LWCB may release land from an agreement under certain
circumstances. When land is rezoned from exclusive agricultural use, or, under
certain circumstances, released from a farmland preservation agreement, DATCP
must file a lien against the land for the amount of the farmland preservation credit
the owner received during the preceding ten years.
This bill eliminates the requirement that DATCP file a lien against land that
is released from a farmland preservation agreement or that is rezoned from exclusive
agricultural use. Under the bill, to have land released from a farmland preservation
agreement the owner generally must pay $100 per acre to the state, and to have land
rezoned from exclusive agricultural zoning the owner must pay $100 per acre to the
local governmental unit that grants the rezoning.
Currently, DATCP awards grants for land and water resource management
projects and construction of animal waste management systems. This bill increases
the general obligation bonding authority for this program by $7,000,000.
This bill authorizes DATCP to pay a portion a business's costs of improvements
to prevent pollution from agricultural chemicals.
This bill increases the criminal penalties for violating laws regulating
nurseries and laws related to plant pests. The bill also provides forfeitures (civil
penalties) for violating these laws, ranging from a minimum of $200 to a maximum,
for a repeat offense, of $10,000.
This bill requires DATCP to fund, from the recycling fund, research and
development of anaerobic digesters, which produce and collect methane from animal
waste, at farms participating in the Wisconsin Agricultural Stewardship Initiative.
